The human side of coding

Now that AI’s are writing our code, what is the value that we humans still bring to building software systems?

Our tech stacks are exploding in complexity, systems are more and more distributed and fast-paced development leads to an ecosystem full of fragile legacy systems that provide the backbone of business capabilities. How do we tackle that technical and social complexity? Do we take the usual route and solve it by adding more tech or AI? Or is there another way?

Even in the 80’s, people realized that the theory of a system can’t be transferred through code and documentation alone. It requires developers to work closely together. We need to encourage human collaboration across disciplines, backgrounds and personalities (including our new AI buddies). Learn how you can use your human power skills to better understand the problems you’re facing and build systems that last!
